What to plan for
- Check the setback table for your section first. Many sections do not allow opaque fences in the rear setback, which is 40 feet in many sections.
- Golf course, lake and interior lots follow different rules.
- Rail fences, with or without wire mesh, are allowed in suitable locations with approval: a good fit for larger lots here.
Associations and their fence rules
Weston Lakes Property Owners Association
What the published rules say, in plain English:
- A fence needs its own Home Improvement request and committee approval before installation. The committee has 30 days to respond, and building without approval can cost the construction deposit.
- Solid cedar fences may be up to 6 feet tall. Post caps are allowed and do not count toward the height.
- Solid wood fences must look finished from outside: rails, posts and braces face in, or panels alternate. A rot board is suggested for solid cedar.
- Painted or stained wood must match community colors with committee approval; synthetic fences must blend with their surroundings.
- Rail fences, with or without wire mesh, are acceptable in suitable spots with approval. Pools must be enclosed with self-closing gates.
- Many sections bar opaque fences in the rear setback (40 feet in many sections). Golf course, lake and interior lots differ, so check the setback table for your section.

Questions we hear
How tall can a cedar fence be in Weston Lakes?
Six feet for a solid cedar fence, with post caps allowed on top, under the 2020 standards bulletin.
Can I fence my whole back yard?
Maybe not with a solid fence. Many sections bar opaque fences in the rear setback. A rail fence with mesh is often the way to enclose that area. Check your section's setback table.
How long does approval take?
The committee has 30 days to respond to a Home Improvement request.
